IMPROVEMENT IN WHIP-RACKS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part cf the same.

To all whom it may concern l Be it known that I, ROBERT J. ANDERSON, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in filip-Rack; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact-description thereof', which will enable `others, skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference. being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in Whipracks for livery and other stables; andl It consists in one or more tubes arranged vertically abone a shelf' on the wall of the building, or any suitable device for attaching thereto, and either inclosed' in a case or not, iu which tubes the whips are inserted from below, one in each, and the butt ends rcstedon the shelf below in a Way to keep the whips straight while remaining therein.

Figure 1 is a front elevation or" my improved whiprack, iuclosed in a case with an open door at the bottom, and n Figure 2 is a sectional elevation oi' the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents small tubes of tin or other suitable material, nearly as long as the whips,and large enough to admit of readily insert-ing the whips from below, as indicated, or to carry the lash up through the top and extend it vertically above the stock by drawing the lhese tubes may be suspended from the wall of a building or the back C o t a case, D, by the bars E, or in any other preferred way.

The shelf` B is also attached to the wall or the back O the same as the bars E are.

If a case is used for inclosing the rack, I prefer to place it so that the top will be against the ceiling, and to iuclosc the part above the lower bar E permanently, providing a door, F, for the lower part, which may be provided with a lock or other suitable fastening.

Each tube may be numbered or otherwise designated so that each owner may know his own.

Having thus described myinvention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The improved whip-rack, consisting of the tubes A and shelf B, arranged with relation to each other, a's

herein shown and described.

The above specification of Vmy invention signed by me this 27th day of December, 18

' ROBERT J. ANDERSON.
